I am a self-taught knitter who has done everything wrong. When I started knitting, I didn’t always know the “right” way to do something. These mistakes lead me to countless opportunities to do things better or easier. Over the years, I have been frequently asked to put all my tricks in one book. So here […]
How do you learn on your knitting journey? Some people prefer to learn from books, and some people learn best in an in-person or group setting. For those visual learners, video tutorials are the best way to learn step by step anywhere and anytime. And this is why I started my YouTube channel in 2013. […]
I am so excited to introduce you to my fall knit-along (KAL) featuring my latest video sweater class: the Charade Brioche Sweater Class. This flattering sweater features a Brioche trim at the neck, hem and cuff. In this class, you’ll learn all your Brioche (two color in rib AND stockinette) and sweater skills—even if you’ve […]
You asked, I answered! I’m excited to be offering a series of 1 hour classes in July. Each one will focus on a different technique. They are only $25 each AND you’ll get a recording link to follow. NOTE: These classes will be taught on my new education platform. You will need to create […]

Another video KAL comes to an end (but this time I’m not sooo sad because the Hudson Valley Cardi will go on sale June 10)!! I can’t believe more than 1500 people joined in on the fun of knitting this tee. Some knit it now, while others will cast on later! Through it all, the […]
It’s time for the spring knit-along!!! I am so excited to start another KAL on my Ravelry group. There will be tons of teaching and fun, prizes and a great garment! This garment, the Roselle Tee, is totally reversible so it’s like getting TWO tops for the price of one (actually three, but more on that in […]
Recently I wrote about how I designed the cables in the Early Fall Vogue Maker feature cardigan. I was very happy how the sweater turned out, but it was not without a few bumps in the road. Today I reveal a bit of riiiiiping that every knitter must go through!
Over the years I’ve talked a lot about “Reading Your Knitting”, as well as knitting tricks to make your life easier. I’ve written about how to keep track of your rows, how to keep track of your cast on, how to keep track of your cable rows, today’s “how to keep track of” is is […]
